Mafia V: The Cult of Sekham

[DiggitCamara]

@DiggitCamara

… That’ll teach me to make clarifying posts

1. Yeah, I meant Kat :smack:
2. Like I said in post 2763: Unless something changes drastically, you will know my alignment by toNight.

Not edited to correct: Like I said in post 2761.

You’ve got Pleonast voting twice. He unvoted Mal a few posts back.

[Zeriel]

Y’know, I’m looking it over again, and I think actually I have a different idea now of what I want to do.

Unvote DiggitCamara.

How odd is it that I think I see scum tells but I don’t want to put forth my reasoning until I see if there are any more?

Also, remind me when the Day ends again?

@FlyingCowOfDoom

Would you care to explain the reasons behind this vote? I’m genuinely curious.

Basically what I said in my omnibus post:

@Pleonast

FlyingCowOfDoom has really been hounding me. He even voted for me (along with Mal’s OMGUS) after my claim. His analyses seem weak to me and he’s rather faded out recently. Either he’s a floundering Townie or a Cultist trying flinging mud around wildly. High suspicion.

Given how long it took me to get Mal close to dunking, I don’t think you need to worry too much.

[Hockey_Monkey]

I’m torn over who to vote for. I have some level of suspicion for everyone left in the game except Zeriel, as there hasn’t been a Monk counter-claim. So. Who to vote for?

Taking out the role claims, we have:

Autolycus/DiggitCamara2
Captain Carrot/Nava/pygmy rugger
Clockwork Jackal/Kyrie Eleison
ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies
FlyingCowOfDoom
Fretful Porpentine
Idle Thoughts
Mhaye
MonkeyMensch/zuma2
NAF1138
Pasta/amrussell
Queuing
sachertorte
USCDiver

The person I am most suspicous of, is the person I have the least evidence on. **Cookies ** has been for the most part under the radar, and I only have my gut to go on, but something doesn’t “feel” right. It’s kind of the same feeling I had about **Gadarene ** in the Pirates game. There was no solid evidence. Can the lack of evidence in and of itself be evidence? I dunno, but toDay my vote goes to ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies.

I’m curious as to the views on sachertorte from the remaining players.

Diggit obviously isn’t buying him as a pro-town breadcrumb from Hal. I’m leaning in the direction that he was Hal’s breadcrumb, and that he is pro-town.

[Malacandra]

@Pleonast

You say you’re the Disciple and then reveal who you’ve been protecting? If you’re really who you claim, you’ve just given the Cult a lot of very useful information. The Town doesn’t need to know who you protected. The Cult can use it to determine if their target was protected. To help them figure out if they activated the Psychopath or hit the Priest. And potentially help them out-guess who you’ll protect in the future. Gah! poorly played, Mal!

As they say in the investment business, “the past is not necessarily a guide to the future”, and in any case, I figure that once I’m out, I’ve just put myself on pole position for the scum’s attentions as long as the Priest remains hidden.

From here

@Blaster Master

Prophet (Godfather) - Special cultist. He has the tie breaking vote among cultists. Once, while alive, he can spend one night converting a Non-Cultist but the Cult’s sacrifice will be skipped that night. A Converted player appears to the Oracle/Apprentice as they did before conversion. Investigates as “Believer”.

(underlining mine)

I mentioned sachertorte as a possible breadcrumb by Hal. Problem is, if we’re right, Hal would have identified him as a Believer.

Which still leaves two possibilities: he is truly a Believer.

Or the Prophet.

If you are who you say you are, you have a 50/50 chance of surviving, anyway.

I, too, am having doubts. Not about the role claim specifically, but about the way Malacandra is describing the role. It just seems… odd.

What’s odd?

• Can protect self or other - 50% to block kill, 100% to block Recruitment. Cannot be Recruited. Knows who the Priest is.
• Does not have special knowledge of who anyone else (except the Priest) is.
• Does not know whether protection worked.

I’m just saying it’s odd, that’s all. Role claims have always been odd to me. Part of it may be the paradigm shift that happens, but it always “whoah’s” me.

[Pleonast]

About three hours until Dusk, and the top vote-getters only have three votes? Might as well send the Cult a formal invitation to dunk a Townie, because it won’t be the Town picking. Vote, people! Especially, you, Mal, if you really are the Disciple.

[Blaster_Master]

Apologies to everyone, I’ve been VERY, VERY far behind at work, so I haven’t been able to give this game the level of attention that I’ve wanted to. I will promise you one thing, I will not rest until I have processed the dusk…

Expect dusk around Midnight or 1AM EDT. Again, I’m really sorry.

[zuma]

unvote: Malacandra

Not sure who I’ll be voting for yet. I’ll review some things after work and be back with a vote.

I’m beginning to wonder if Hal left any breadcrumbs. We seem to keep shooting ourselves in the foot trying to interpret what the hell he did.

Well… at least we are down to the last possible ones…

By the way, Pygmy Rugger, how come you haven’t voted yet?

Your neck is on the line, and I’m sure your statements and your vote would help people to make up their minds, one way or another.

I definitely second Pleonast’s statement: I don’t have anything against tied votes (in the past they have served very well to ferret out scum), but I do have a lot against low-count dunkings, with many people waiting to the last minute to vote.
